Use json endpoint for pypi livecheck

[xeron (Ivan Larionov)]

Previously used XML page is not available for some packages (it redirects to JSON page).

Verified half of these ports and it happens because they use their own livecheck (which we may mass-fix as well).

And attached stdout as a proof that it actually works :)

@raimue anything against applying this? Current XML endpoint is not reliable at all because it redirects to JSON endpoint for some ports.

Not sure what I did differently in my initial testing in #51391, but it seems to work just fine.

Committed in r149160.
